Default whats the best posi unit to get??yes i searched already

ok guys, i need to know what is the best posi/limited unit to get. i looked at torsion diff and have seen their weaknesses and have done the same for the auburn and eaton posi's. does anyone have any real world experience with any of these that tell me what they think is the best. also, are they all the same in that if you get one tire spinning too fast the posi will never kick in and send power to the other wheel.

I have the Aubern Gold and it is a really agressive unit. I can feel it wanting to lock up under throttle around every turn. It was the single best ET droping performance mod I have ever done.

AUBURN Pro Series...HANDS DOWN! I broke several of the "others" and not one problem with the AUBURN Pro Series in the old truck.

Definitly not trying to steal a thread!!! But does anyone have an opinion on the Eaton electronic locker for mine an OHOH sake. I have heard that it is not a good idea for things such as racing applications. Only for those climbers. But what I liked is that they claim that it is truly a 100% locking rear end. Whats the opinion.

I saw the EATON unit at the SEMA show and it looks to be high quality. I just dont have any experiance with EATON's rear end products. Only the superchargers
